PILOT-FISH. 15S 



Individuals from various localities exhibit but very trifling 

 differences. 



In the Linnean Transactions, vol. xiv. page 82, Mr. 

 Couch, in his paper on the Fishes of Cornwall, says of the 

 Albacore, " I believe this fish is not uncommon in summer ; 

 but keeping at a distance from the shore, and seldom taking 

 a bait, it is but rarely caught." 



Under the name of Albacore, like that of Bonito, two 

 species have been included. The Scomber glaucus of Linn, 

 will be found described and figured by Cuvier and M. Valen- 

 ciennes, t. viii. p. 858, pi. 234.
